A Blogging Interlude

But I’ll be back!!!!!!!!!

Hello you wonderful people out there in bloggers-sphere!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to inform you all, taking for granted you will be interested; I shall be taking a little break from being
‘The Savvy Senorita’ for roughly one week.

Reason, well, I am going away and won’t be able to rely on a constant internet connection. So, I figure what is the point in stressing my-self, trying to keep up with posting when it will be difficult to do so.

ALSO………………!!!!

I am re-considering my blog, well, the direction of it, and the material I include. At the moment I seem to infuse my blog with plenty of ‘political’ scribblings, but I have taken to wondering recently if this alone is enough??????????

I enjoy my politics, but wonder if this says all there is to say about little old me. I don’t want to become ‘stuck in a rut’ after all!!

The break away may provide me some time to clarify my position, or draw up my battle lines! Either way I hope to return ‘enlightened’ (yes I jest)!

If any of you little stars out there have anything you can offer to help me solve this quandary regarding my blog direction, well, I would be oh so appreciative if you share with me your wisdom!

Thanks, and speak soon.

Over and out,

Bex 🙂

Nothing can replace years of feeling a

vanquished”.

therefore to stay positive and strong is also hard.

That is why inner healing is a

slow process over time, which requires patience”.

Get It Right, It Is NHS Bribery.

REALLY?! What a contradiction the constitution peddles.

Another NHS scandal hit the news recently, this time at a Mid Staffordshire hospital; it was reported that 1,200 patients died as a cause of neglect in care.

For me this report of the negligence the NHS are responsible for is a tip of an iceberg.

This recent confirmation of patient deaths is shocking and deplorable, but what makes the whole sordid business worse by miles, is the fact that the families of these unlawfully killed, were silenced by the NHS for so long.

These families claims were ignored, although they were known to be true by the hospital in question. These families have been battling for too long a time to bring all of this disgusting mess out into the light for everyone to know about. These families have had no recompense, no apology and no explanation – that is the most disgusting thing about all of this.

This lack of responsibility, lack of consequence that the NHS has, an immunity almost, IS SINISTER. They do as they see fit, and patients and their families have to to just put up and accept this nonsense which the NHS insist in calling ‘care’.

In fact it has been discovered that 105 NHS Foundation Trusts in 2010/11 actually spent a total £2.5 million on gagging clauses. Prohibiting the staff from speaking out, ‘whistle blowing’,  upon the villainous conduct going unpunished in the hospitals. This is not to mention the actual number of gagging clauses in place in the above Mid Staffordshire hospital which total a staggering £14.7 million!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember this is tax payers money!!!!!

Imagine the staff and resources being scrimped upon to keep all these staff members quiet????!!!!

In reality then, these aren’t gagging clauses, THEY ARE BRIBERY !!! Lets call it as we see it please, bribery, plain and simple! Stop beating around the bush and admit it – you are a bunch of cheating, lying , murdering thieves – criminals! All being hidden nicely behind the curtain of immunity that the NHS provides you!!

DISGUSTING!

Suicidal Star

Mindy McCready tried to commit suicide FOUR TIMES in seven years before she ultimately took her own life.

• McCready shot herself at her home in Heber Springs, Arkansas, on Sunday
• Singer was released from rehab last week after spending just two days at in-patient facility
• Doctor found her clean of drugs and alcohol and ‘mentally stable’
• Sex tape of her will not be released (why would it be – surely there is some respect for the dead)
• A shadow was cast over country star after the recent death of live-in boyfriend David Wilson

What went so wrong that Mindy felt she had call the curtain on her life of fame and fortune??

Is this another gun tragedy? 

Why was there no real intervention before such a devastating act could take place?

Is it a case of another star merely seeking attention? Or, was Mindy crying out for help and being ignored? Perhaps, the signs of what she felt were well concealed?

She was a person first and a mother too, and now her children are left behind to wonder why.

No-one is exempt from Depression or even suicide, this proves that clearly enough. It also proves that regardless of money and status, real help is not always available.

If the support networks had been there, would Mindy have lived? Learned to cope?

Are there any real answers for things like this that occur in life? Maybe not.

However, any life lost is truly sad.

Is It Fair?????

What else meant to help the public can be eradicated by the UK coalition Government??

What more can the economic strife demand??

Council Tax Benefit might be a THING OF THE PAST very soon. Everyone will HAVE TO contribute something towards their own Council Tax, EVEN those on the lowest of incomes or on benefits. So, regardless of circumstances, ANYONE living in any housing within the UK will be paying something. The ONLY EXEMPTION to remain in place will be for the elderly (pensioners).

COUNCIL TAX (for those of you lucky enough not it know) is a:

Tax levied on households by local authorities; based on the estimated value of the property and the number of people living in it.

Is this lift on council tax benefit fair when some people clearly won’t be able to pay ANYTHING towards such a tax?

What will be the point in the Government ENFORCING such rules, if people can’t pay the tax?

What resources will be WASTED trying to ensure these people comply and do pay up?

Take a look at the link below from The Guardian newspaper for some more info.

UK Council Benefit Cuts

He Was A Person. He Had A Name.

 

 

This immediately drew me in – so significant is the message, a message we fail to often realise, until it is too late.

At least this man had his name returned to him, his identity restored in some way. He was being reclaimed as not just another ‘object’ – faceless and nameless wandering past us, inhabiting a subsidiary world, we choose to ignore. He was no longer to be lost to us and the world we are submerged in.

He was Emory. He was a person. He had a name.
